CES Fellows — Already Making a Difference!

Reviewers

Our fellowship applications are reviewed by scholars from the most prestigious universities in America.

Funding

The Center has provided over $1,000,000 in fellowships over the past six years.

Fellowships

The Center has awarded 39 fellowships to PhD students in the social sciences.

Engaged scholarship is urgently needed to build a better world.

Our Center is part of a movement to focus scholars on research that addresses climate change, racial and gender justice, poverty, and social exclusion. We follow a bottom-up strategy by supporting scholars whose dissertations are models of engaged research. Our fellows collaborate with activists, think tanks, and legislators to shape public policy.

CES seeks to build a diverse community of engaged scholars who work with social movements to strengthen democracy.
